REGISTERED NURSE TO BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING

RN to BSN - The RN to BSN program offers upper division nursing course work required for the BSN degree at select sites throughout the state of Washington. The program is ideal for the non-traditional adult student managing a demanding schedule. Full and part-time options for study are available and efficient scheduling of courses offers working RN’s maximum flexibility.

REGISTERED NURSE TO MASTER OF NURSING

The Accelerated RN to MN Program is for RNs completing their first bachelor's degree in the RN to BSN Program. RNs apply to the MN program to take up to 6 MN credits to replace 6 RNB credits during the RN to BSN program. Upon completion of the BSN, files are again reviewed for admission to the MN program.

MASTER OF NURSING (MN)

MN - The College's Master of Nursing (MN) program provides BSN nurses with the educational core to practice in advanced and rapidly changing health care settings. The MN program offers several educational avenues to prepare nurses with leadership skills to plan, implement, coordinate and evaluate health care, as well as formulate policy for a diverse and multicultural society.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN NURSING (PH.D.)

The Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing program at Washington State University admitted its first students in Summer 2007. The program responds directly to the vision of the College of Nursing to pursue opportunities to expand the frontiers of nursing knowledge, science, and practice by using innovative approaches and leveraged resources to benefit all people. The College bridges barriers to health care in the global community with a focus on underserved and rural populations. In addition the program allies itself with the College mission to inspire and transform health care for generations to come. It endorses the values of inquiry and knowledge application, leadership, character, stewardship, and diversity.

The goals of the PhD program were established in the context of rapidly changing environmental factors. These factors include a critical shortfall of doctorally prepared nursing faculty and nurse scientists across the country and in the northwest. Therefore, the program addresses directly the recommendations of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for research-focused doctoral programs in nursing. The program emphasizes the preparation of nurse researchers. Graduates will investigate nursing phenomena of concern to the discipline of nursing, will develop new nursing knowledge, and will therefore benefit the health of citizens of Washington State, the nation, and the world. Graduates will be prepared to launch independent programs of research, to seek support for all phases of research programs, and will lead others in the research process. Graduates will therefore be equipped to assume faculty positions in schools and colleges of nursing and to take on the roles of nurse scientists.
